The Arrival of the Stew-Nuts


"Stew-Nuts" means "students" in Gloria-speak.  Gloria can be seen here holding the sign to welcome the stew-nuts off the plane.  

Also welcoming the stew-nuts was the humid, tropical heat of Belize.  After the great-tailed grackle had given his welcoming, we boarded our school bus and made our way west across the country.  The stew-nuts were given their first looks of the Belize countryside as the sun set softly over Guatemala.  Ms. Martha and Ms. Shelly did their part to welcome the stew-nuts with a traditional diner of rice and beans, stewed chicken, cole slaw, fried plantains and chocolate cake.  The keys were passed out to their new cottages and the stew-nuts found rest and repose after a long day of travel.  

We are all thankful and grateful that our community is now full with this semester's stew-nuts.

Yes, the perfect start to a stay in Belize....beans and rice or rice and beans and chicken! But the chocolate cake is a treat! A special hello to Tyler Brown, until he opens his own blog! AND mmmmm, coke in a bottle, icy cold. Can't be beat.
